How can I avoid circular imports in my Python project?

How can I avoid circular imports in my Python project?

To avoid circular imports, you can restructure your code by using local imports or separating your modules.

What are local imports and how do they help?

Local imports are imports placed inside a function or method. They help by delaying the import until it's needed, reducing circular dependencies.

Can you give me an example of restructuring my code?

Sure! If you have two modules, A and B, instead of importing B in A and A in B, you can create a third module C that both A and B import.

Are there any tools to help detect circular imports?

Yes, tools like pylint and flake8 can help detect circular imports in your code.
